He spend most of the 90's on educational leave at Carnegie Mellon University working on Distributed Shared Memory and Software Defined Computer Architecture. Upon returning he joined the TigerShark research video project which became IBM's General Parallel File System and eventually IBM's Spectrum Scale file system. Scale is IBM's premier scale-out file system for the world's largest supercomputers. Although Wayne has worked on most of the file system, he only admits to working on its data management.
